ProductCamp is only 2 days away, and we’ve got 300 product managers, marketers and other champions and stakeholders registered to attend. 34 sessions are currently being proposed and discussed and I expect more based on a few exciting late registrations that have come in!
In this post, I’ll give you some information, including:
- How to preview and influence the sessions that will be offered on Saturday
- The schedule for the day
- What to bring with you
- Ways to participate and help make ProductCamp an even greater success
- Dress Code
1. Sessions
Session leaders have already started posting their sessions over at http://pcampatl.uservoice.com. You can go over there right now and take a look at the proposed topics, comment on them and vote for your favorites. It’s also not too late to offer your own session! Just post your idea and see what the crowd thinks! You can also see some interviews with some of the session leaders right here on the ProductCamp blog.
The voting here does not impact the sessions on Saturday, but it does give the session leaders an idea of how their session is going to be received. Your comments help them prepare for your best questions and further hone their topics to give you the greatest value.
